----* ''Manga/BlackButler'':** Mey-rin is [[CuteClumsyGirl one of the clumsiest anime characters ever]]; [[TheKlutz Frequently tripping and knocking things over]], and is one of the cutest things. She even wears adorable glasses to top it all off!** Finnian(Finny) is just about the sweetest thing, has the hyperactiveness and enthusiasm of a child, and gets awkward around Angela.* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'':** [[AntiAntiChrist Rin Okumura]]. He's BookDumb, somewhat kluzy at times, goes all [[LuminescentBlush awkward]] when it comes to girls he likes, is very childish - especially with friends - and is an AMAZING cook. [[http://aonoexorcist.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sukiyaki!.jpg This]] popular image says it all.** Konekomaru is shy, [[ShorterMeansSmarter short]] [[NerdGlasses glasses]]-wearing smart guy who adores cats.** Shiami Moriyama is downright adorable, so darned sweet, as well as [=terribly=] awkward around people. %% * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'':%% ** Izzy is a socially inept computer geek.%% ** Joe Kido tries so hard to be the responsible TeamDad of the group.* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' has Davis/Daisuke who is such a ditzy goofball and can be rather silly around his crush. One of the dorkiest things to behold, yet OH SO CUTE!%%** [[{{Fanboy}} Takato]] [[SociallyAwkwardHero from]] ''Anime/DigimonTamers''.%%** Some Digimon themselves qualify for the trope as well, particularly Gomamon.* Jean from ''NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater''. Not only is he intelligent, he is also generous, sweet-natured, caring, friendly, loyal, naive, and dedicated to what he likes. He's quite brave, as well. Nadia's English voice actress once said that she would date someone like him "in a heartbeat".* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':** Yugi Mutou, the actual one, not the SuperPoweredEvilSide. He's a slightly dopey, socially awkward kid whose deepest wish in the first chapter is just to ''have a few friends''. He gets them though, because people finally start seeing and appreciating his IncorruptiblePurePureness.** Ryo Bakura also qualifies, if he isn't more so. He's the shy kid in the sweater who's obsessed with games of all kinds and has very little friends. Too bad he was [[DemotedtoExtra downplayed in the anime.]] And again, this is the REAL Bakura we're talking about. The Spirit inside him is...[[AxCrazy less adorkable]].** [[TheShortGuyWithGlasses Syrus Truesdale]] from the [[OddlyNamedSequel spinoff series]] ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', given that he looks a lot like Yugi with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]] and [[BlindWithoutEm little round glasses]]. It gets to the point where fans joke that Yugi is his father/[[MisterSeahorse mother]].* Keitaro in ''LoveHina''. Sure he might be a huge AccidentalPervert, but his genuine desire to know the other tenants and his constant determination are endearing.* Yomiko Readman in ''Anime/{{Read or Die}}''. The quintessential bookworm. So nerdy. So cute. And so very, very [[BadassAdorable scary]].* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.** Rukia has had her moments: her love for cute things and bunnies-specifically chappy, not to mention her drawing skills (or lack there of), plus her "innocent (and dramatic) girly schoolgirl" act she puts on in front of Ichigo's family and classmates is [[{{Moe}} too adorable]].** Surprisingly enough, her [[AloofBigBrother older brother]] [[TheStoic Byakuya]] isn't immune. His obsession with [[CloudCuckoolander the Seaweed Ambassador]], his artwork, and his occasional attempts at [[TheUnfunny telling jokes]] give him these moments every once in a while. ** Uryu Ishida. Top of his class and is very serious about most things, this includes [[RealMenWearPink his love in sewing]], and outside of all of this he's kinda socially awkward.** Hanataro. He's a good medic, but not exactly the epitome of toughness. [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan This is especially evident in scenes with him and Ganju.]]%%** [[{{Moe}} Orihime]], Bleach's resident CloudCuckooLander, manages to be this from time to time.%%* Osaka in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' pretty much has her own cult following, as does shy, introverted Sakaki. Also, Chiyo.%%* Sweet, kind and cuddly ([[SuperPoweredEvilSide most of]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes the time]]) Himura Kenshin of ''RurouniKenshin''.* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'':** Japan, whose polite-to-a-fault demeanor covers up a socially awkward streak (especially when it comes to physical affection) and an {{Otaku}} love of 2D.%%** Canada (he also overlaps with {{Moe}}) and America (hero obsessed).%%** America even looks like [[AtlantisTheLostEmpire Milo Thatch]], the person on this page's image.%%** To a lesser extent, Estonia%% ** Lithuania.%%** Italy himself.%%** Sweden%%** Finland%%** Denmark.* Madarame from ''{{Genshiken}}'' is a perfect example of this trope. He is a HotBlooded {{Otaku}}, but at the same time is a bit uncomfortable around acts of physical affection. His SpiritualSuccessor seems to have gotten better in ''Manga/SpottedFlower''.* Young Tenma from ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', before his [[TookALevelInBadass badass upgrade]] made him stop being a {{woobie}} doormat.[[note]]He's still TheWoobie, but he's [[IronWoobie the Iron variety]].[[/note]] The gangly, badly-dressed Grimmer looks quite adorkable as well...at least when he's not Hulking out.* ''{{Trigun}}'': Vash fits this quite well, easily falling into being a Badass Adorkable during times of comedic calamity that tend to follow him.* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':** Naruto. When he's not in {{Determinator}} mode he's socially awkward, and early on, most of his boasts came off more as cute/laughable than intimidating. Not to mention [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata]] and [[NiceGuy Rock Lee]].** No one could have predicted that [[spoiler: Hashirama, the First Hokage,]] was this. He noticeably stands out against [[spoiler: his brother, the Second Hokage]] who is very stoic while the former is goofy, friendly and just plain {{Keet}}, cheerfully admitting he spoiled his granddaughter rotten. One person even commented how it was hard to believe that such a cheerful, happy-go-lucky person used to [[spoiler: be one of the strongest shinobi in the world]]. Proves to be a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass [[spoiler:by intimidating his brother, Sasuke, Juugo, Suigetsu, and Orochimaru through sheer willpower without moving an inch.]]%%* Tsuna from ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. Also, Kozato Enma.%%** Irie Shouichi. He's even got the glasses.%%** Dino when his subordinates aren't around becomes really clumsy and dorky.%%* Minoru of ''Manga/KarateShoukoushiKohinataMinoru''.* This is about half the point of "[[ObfuscatingStupidity Li Sheng Shun]]" in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''. He's so adorably inept, clumsy, kindhearted, and naive that you just want to hug him, and nobody would ever suspect he's secretly [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Black Reaper]], the most {{badass}} and {{stoic}} guy in a series full of emotionless killing machines.%%* Tsutomu Senkawa from the 1996 OVA adaptation of ''{{Birdy the Mighty}}''. The English dub makes him sound even more dorky.* ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'':** Mikado, who's even gained the fan nickname {{Moe}}kado. Also [[MadScientist Shinra]], [[CasanovaWannabe Kida]], and [[{{Otaku}} Erika and Walker]].** When Vorona goes undercover as Shizuo's kohai to discover his weaknesses and eventually kill him, she discovers to her surprise that the [[TheRedBaron God of Destruction in a Bartender Suit]] is actually a rather dorky NiceGuy when he's not under the influence of his violent HairTriggerTemper. Cue the [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]].* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'':** Jacuzzi Splot, a sweet, lovable little crybaby with the most ridiculous name in the world. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Hidden core of pure badass]] or not, he's very cute.** From ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'' we have Claire Stanfield when he is [[SociopathicHero off]] [[BloodIsTheNewBlack the]] [[AGodAmI clock]], particularly when he's around [[spoiler: [[FirstGirlWins Chane Laforet]]]].%%** And [[CloudCuckooLander Isaac]] [[ThoseTwoGuys and]] [[CloudCuckooLander Miria]].%%* [[ButtMonkey Yuki]][[AccidentalPervert nari]] of ''Manga/GirlsBravo''. Also, [[ShrinkingViolet Koyomi]].* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':** Many fans found the WackyMarriageProposal of Ed, and Winry's response to it, to be pure adorkable. Ed words his proposal in alchemical terms, while Winry words her reply in percentages. [[http://bit.ly/PyUP61 Link to view the scene]]. There's an even more awkwardly adorable proposal done as a fan request while VicMignogna & Creator/CaitlinGlass was at a [[http://bit.ly/WcN19k 2008 MegaCon booth]], leading to [[HilarityEnsues much laughter]], many [[{{squee}} squeals]], and quite some awws all around.]]** Roy Mustang. He has a [[DarkAndTroubledPast superlatively depressing past]] that [[MyGreatestFailure he was intensely]] traumatized by, so he [[ObfuscatingStupidity deliberately acts]] [[UrbanLegendLoveLife like a womanizing jerk]] as a part of his long-term plan [[TheAtoner to atone for his sins]]. In reality he's a complete softie and a loveable dork.** Edward Elric , especially when dealing with anything related to Winry and romance and his adorable overreactions over his height and anger at being called "little" brother.%%** Sheska, the CuteBookworm from Central Library.%%** Al, the giant suit of armor who loves kittens.%%** Kain Furey* Josuke, from Part 8 of JoJosBizarreAdventure. Obsession with measurements? Check. Strange habits such as sleeping ''under'' the mattress because the weight of the mattress makes him comfortable? Check. High intellect? Check. An abysmal grasp of common sense [[spoiler:caused by the fact that he hasn't any memory]]? Checkmate.* Gourry Gabriev from ''[[TheSlayers Slayers]]'' is often viewed as adorkable by fangirls. He's a [[GeniusDitz badass swordsman]], but his [[IdiotHero terrible memory]] (at least in the anime) and tendency to be really sweet and a genuinely nice guy make him totally {{Adorkable}}. Less so in the original novels; Gourry's actually got a bit of a dry, snarky sense of humor and he's more observant that Lina gives him credit for. Gourry's anime portrayal seems to be a {{Flanderization}} of how Lina perceives him; viz. as nonmagical as it's possible to get and therefore a complete moron.* John Brown of ''Manga/GhostHunt'' has his moments. Bring him up to any of his fans and the word 'cute' will come up, usually because of his charmingly naive personality and/or amusing facial expressions.* Wannabe-[[TheAce ace student]] Shiratori in ''YandereKanojo'' is considered adorkable in-universe. He thinks he's popular with girls because he's so cool. He's a {{bishonen}} who's [[TheAce great at athletics and academics]], so he should be a natural ChickMagnet. In reality, it's because he gets really shy and flustered when girls flirt with him, which they find irresistible.%%* ''Manga/BlackButler'':%%** Arthur, the {{Moe}} NiceGuy, and Finnian, the [[{{Keet}} hyper]] crybaby.%%** Grell in butler attire may have epitomized Adorkable, had [[{{Transsexual}} she]] not revealed her [[ChainsawGood true]] [[DepravedBisexual nature]] after one chapter, appearing in butler form for only a few pages.%%** A female example, Mey-Rin.%%** Snake is described near-perfectly by this page. Shy? Check. Quirky? Check. Socially awkward? Check, check, check.* ''Manga/DeathNote''** Matsuda. He's dumb, but also kind hearted and determined to try and prove himself useful.** Despite L's obsession with justice and his gangly pale figure, he manages to do this by smiling.** A lot of L's interaction with Naomi in the spin-off novel is this, especially the ending. He is clearly woefully inexperienced with the concept of "hugging".%%** Also, Yamamoto. Light's school pal.* ''YamiNoMatsuei'' gives us Tsuzuki, a happy-go-lucky, dorky {{shinigami}} with a sweet tooth.* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':** Mari Makinami from ''RebuildOfEvangelion'' can't see without her glasses and, outside of her EVA, is socially awkward to the point that Rei could fit in better than her. %%** Shinji Ikari, for those who don't hate him.%%** [[EmotionlessGirl Rei]] when she's shy.%%* There's Yukiteru of ''MiraiNikki'' who is an {{Expy}} of Shinji.* ''DragonBallZ'':** Son Gohan, especially as a teenager. He's such a sweet, friendly, good-natured guy, yet also ''very'' studious, and he gets into many embarrassing social situations, and he has questionable taste in fashion and, er, superhero poses.** Yamcha was adorkable during his teenage years but he grew out of it a little as he got older. Yamcha was afraid of girls and super awkward around them when he was a teenager, even though his dream was to fall in love and get married. He even wanted to use the Dragon Balls to make it so he would not have panic attacks around girls anymore. ** Kid/Teen Chi-Chi (the former moreso), because of her massive crush on Goku and her constant blushing and crying. You can't help finding her Adorkable.** Goten. Gohan's friendly, good-natured hyperactive brother. His innocence and childish personality is what makes him adorkable.%% ** Goku. Huge goofball with a high voice.%%* ''DGrayMan'':%% ** Johnny. He's incredibly clumsy, and kind-hearted.%% ** BadassBookworm Lavi%% ** MadScientist Komui%% ** NaiveNewcomer Krory%% ** TheKlutz Miranda%% ** Allen, since his {{Moe}} NiceGuy traits have been known to reach dangerous levels.* ''DNAngel'':** Kosuke, Daisuke's dad. He's very clumsy and kind-hearted.%% ** Daisuke.%%** Towa-chan, especially when she's around Dark.* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':** Ash Ketchum from the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime, at least in the older seasons. He was rather klutzy and somewhat dim-witted, but also a ''really'' sweet kid with an enormous heart, and already a pint-sized {{Bishonen}} to begin with.** From ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'', we have [[BigEater Diamond]], one of the most {{Adorkable}} characters you could ever find in a Pokemon manga.** Team Rocket's Jessie, James, and Meowth. Jessie for being a vain but lovable diva, James for just being so precocious and Meowth cause he's a frickin' talking cat with a New York accent! They serve as the villains but are just so gimmicky and so... fail that they aren't even threatening anymore. Their determination is admirable too.** May for being brave, optimistic, kind, and sometimes awkward.%% * Brief, the somewhat woobie-ish ButtMonkey KidSidekick of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''.* Tamaki in ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. He has the handsome bishie looks and is very adept at flirting with girls he doesn't much know, but around friends (not to mention his actual love interest) he becomes a lot more of a lovable idiot.* Lampshaded in ''TigerAndBunny'' -- Agnes points out that [[TheAce Sky High]]'s dorkiness is part of the reason he's so damn popular, with his silly catchphrase ("Thank you! And again, thank you!") among other things.%%** Kotetsu. Karina falls for him because of it.%%** Ivan.* ''KeroroGunsou'':** Sergeant Keroro. In moments when he's genuinely excited about something, he expresses a child-like enthusiasm that is just too cute for words. ** Fuyuki. Total occult nerd, and a walking GeekyTurnOn. The guy gets [[ChickMagnet a lot of female attention]] for being such a geek.* ''LightNovel/AsobiNiIkuYo'': Kio. Manami calls him an otaku but other girls point out to her it's a part of his charm.* [[ShrinkingViolet Ryoushi]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Morino]] in ''LightNovel/OokamiSan''. He even has a phobia of people looking at him.* Kohta Hirano in ''HighSchoolOfTheDead'', a bullied {{otaku}} loser who proves himself more than useful in the zombie apocolypse.* ''{{Hellsing}}'':** Seras Victoria. She's rather clumsy, but she has a good heart and just plain cute, so who cares if she's a vampire?** Same could be said of Schrodinger. The loss of his handbook leads to a rather cute moment.* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':** Conan himself. In the beginning of the series the only clothes he's seen wearing are his miniature suit, complete with a bow tie. This combined with his cute ways of expressing his feelings and his ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' obsession create top quality Adorkable material. He can also be classified as an out-and-out mystery geek, not just a Holmes geek.** [[LikeFatherLikeSon Conan's dad]], Yusaku Kudo. He's a mystery writer who gets a bit too excited about mysteries. Also, his glasses rock. And his wife/Conan's mom Yukiko mixes this with OneOfTheKids, {{Tsundere}}, and being ''really damn pretty''. ** Conan's teacher Sumiko Kobayashi is not only really pretty, but a very sweet NiceGirl who often goes {{adrokable}} when she fangirls over her beloved mystery authors and the Japanese Police (she wanted to be a police woman before choosing to become a teacher), or when she tries to become [[SnoopingLittleKid the Detective Kids's]] "manager". Appropiately, [[spoiler: when she and GentlemanInspector Shiratori [[ChildhoodFriendRomance get together]], [[MoeCouplet her adorkable levels]] start rubbing off ''him''.]]* ''PandoraHearts'':** Gilbert. Psychologically, he's a wubbly mess and often behaves very childishly. The other characters (and the mangaka) enjoy picking on him mercilessly. ** Oz at times, and Leo as well [[spoiler: at least before he takes off his glasses and gets a haircut]].* Nako from ''SteelAngelKurumi2''. She wears glasses, she's incredibly clumsy, and kind-hearted.* ''{{Hen}}'':** Ryuichi Kobayashi definitely. With his huge ears and easily flustered nature, especially around women.** Azumi Yamada is a total klutz and is a mousy cute little girl who gets easily flustered over things of a sexual nature.%% * ''RanmaOneHalf'':%% ** Ryoga Hibiki.%% ** Mousse%% ** Ranma when he lets go of the jerk part of his JerkWithAHeartOfGold nature.%%* ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'':%%** Keima himself (despite acting like an outright jerk); he's known as the [[{{Otaku}} ota]][[{{Megane}} mega]] after all.%%** [[ShrinkingViolet Shiori]] [[CuteBookworm Shiomiya]].* The normally calm and [[TheStoic Stoic]] Sousuke Sagara from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' becomes a complete dork around women or when confronted with romance or anything sexual.* Kyo Sohma of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' tries to act all macho, but in reality he's really a lovable dork, especially around Tohru, his love interest. He's also the family [[ButtMonkey punching bag]].* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' is full of these. Aside from [[AdorablyPrecociousChild the title character]], there's [[ShrinkingViolet Nodoka]], [[RobotGirl Chachamaru]], and especially Setsuna, whose cool demeanor flies out the window [[BodyguardCrush in the presence of her Ojou-sama.]]* Intentionally the case with the excited-about-everything, anime-obsessed, [[FriendToAllLivingThings Friend-To-All-Outcast-Nerds]] Nagaoka in ''OnaniMasterKurosawa.'' His adorkability causes not one but ''two'' girls to fall in love with him--[[spoiler: Magistel, who up until that point had been protagonist Kurosawa's LoveInterest, and Kitahara, who is unfortunately [[IfICantHaveYou not entirely sane.]]]]* Pointed out in ''BunnyDrop,'' where Daikichi notes how unfair it is that "Michan" (the dad of one of Rin's classmates) is also extremely clumsy. It was like he was scientifically designed to be as attractive as possible, and the clumsiness just makes him more adorable. %%* Keiichi of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' especially during the "punishment games".%%* Madoka [[spoiler: and Homura, before she [[TookALevelInBadass took]] [[OverNineThousand over 9000 levels]] [[TookALevelInBadass in badass]]]] from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''%%* ''ReimeiNoArcana'': Caesar, whenever he thinks about Nakaba or tries to make her happy.* Suzaku (especially when he's [[AnimalsHateHim around cats]]), Lelouch (especially when he's around Shirley), Rolo (around his beloved brother Lelouch), and Shirley from ''Anime/CodeGeass''.%%* ''AskDrRin'': Tokiwa [[spoiler: when he's not possessed]] is a very sweet, if a little doofy, ChickMagnet.* In ''HotGimmick'' we have beautiful, spineless, ShrinkingViolet Hatsumi and Hatsumi's sweet and unassuming friend Subaru.* Kaito of ''AnoNatsuDeMatteru'': wears glasses, frequently dorks out with his old-fashioned camera, always nice but very awkward...we have a winner!%%* The Literature Girl in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys''. A {{dojikko}} who tried to re-enact the novel she wrote and had a crush with they guy (Hidenori) who happened to sit on the ArtificialRiverbank? Check.%%* [[NoSocialSkills Tomoko]] from ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular''. One of the [[ThisLoserIsYou reasons]] [[{{Imageboards}} /a/]] [[TheWoobie just wanna hug her]]. * ''InfiniteStratos'':** Laura Bodewig, post-meltdown. Her lack of social skills make almost any social interaction awkwardly and hilariously cute.** [[PerpetualFrowner Houki Shinonono]] as well, whenever she's [[{{Tsundere}} flustered]] or [[WhenSheSmiles happy]]. * ''SoulEater'':** [[AmbiguousGender Crona]], ''especially'' on hir first day as a student at Shibusen; constantly hiding behind Maka like a frightened five-year-old.** Maka's dad Spirit may be this as well.* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': ** The titular Sailor Moon AKA Usagi Tsukino, the ditzy, clumsy, yet sweet leader of the senshi. ** Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury. She is a nerdy CuteBookworm after all, other than an insecure ShrinkingViolet who tends to have a difficult time making new friends, despite being humble and gentle.** Minako Aino/Sailor Venus can be this at times. Like Usagi she's a bit of a ditz (also a {{Malaproper}} in the anime), and an overall perky yet lovable, cheerful and fun-loving girl.%%** Outside the Senshi, there's Umino Gurio, Usagi's nerdy classmate, and Artemis.%%* [[CloudCuckooLander Tsukasa]] from ''LuckyStar''* ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'':** Doremi Harukaze. Very clumsy and self-proclaimed unluckiest girl in the world, but always willing to help someone in need.** Hazuki Fujiwara. A very sweet girl who's also shy, sensitive and easily scared. And she wears NerdGlasses.** Momoko Asuka is a hyper, [[LargeHam hammy]], adorably ditzy FunnyForeigner. She can be blunt at times and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but still a well-intentioned, caring NiceGirl.* ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'':** Syaoran, especially when he does his LuminescentBlush because he CannotSpitItOut. Especially cute because he [[TheComicallySerious tries to be mature and serious all the time.]]** Sakura. Cute as a button, sweet as pie, ditzy and klutzy... need we say more?* ''Manga/{{Saki}}'':** Saki Miyanaga, due to [[ShrinkingViolet her shy nature]], [[CuteBookworm her love of books]], and her vulnerabiity.** Kaori Senoo from Tsuruga, a timid and socially awkward girl, who also doesn't know much about mahjong (for example, calling out riichi without getting the stick, and not realizing when she has a Yakuman hand). Her character selection screen in the PSP game lampshades this trope.-->''"Somehow the sight of this timid second-year student fidgeting away is just too captivating."''* ''KareKano'': Yukino Miyazawa is a gifted high school student lauded by classmates and teachers. This apparent brilliance, however, is mainly used as a means to garner praise. At home, Yukino is very dorky.* Watanuki from ''Manga/XxxHOLiC'' at least before [[spoiler: Yuko's death]]. The way he expresses himself tend to be overly exaggerated as well as hilarious, making him even funnier as well as cute. The adorkableness adds even more with Creator/ToddHaberkorn playing him in the English dub.* ''LightNovel/SakurasouNoPetNaKanojo'''s Mashiro can easily be summed up as an IdiotSavant. While sometimes her mannerisms would enrage her CloudcuckoolandersMinder Sorata, the first OP, written in Sorata's voice, seems to put her straight into this trope:-->Maybe you're just innocent, unyieldingly innocent...* Rikka in ''LightNovel/ChuunibyouDemoKoiGaShitai'', As a result of her small and cuddly appearance awkwardly contrasting with [[MrImagination her delusions of grandeur]].%%* Christopher Peepers from ''Anime/{{Superbook}}'', especially in the first season.* Max Sterling from ''Anime/{{Robotech}}''. Long hair, glasses, an always-friendly disposition, and his excellence with video games helping him also become TheAce fighter pilot (it's unclear whether being an Ace made him good at Veritech games or vice versa, however). That he's also voiced by master-Adorkable voice actor Creator/CamClarke helps.* Gerald Frolio from ''Manga/BokuraNoKiseki''. He's an awkward and sort of nerdy priest, who clearly has something of a crush of his country's Princess Veronica. This applies to his reincarnation from the series' present timeline, Midou, to a certain extent as well.* Mei the goat from ''Literature/ArashiNoYoruNi''. He is a sweet little goat who's just so darn dorky and clumsy that he steals the spotlight from Gabu most of the time.* Kengo from ''MonochromeFactor'' has this in spades. Not only is he a sweet lovable idiot who bounces back nearly all the time even though he keeps getting treated as the punching bag of the group, he looks the cutest when he's crying or smiling (which is nearly all the time). too bad he [[spoiler: gets killed off gruesomely.]] even worse, he [[spoiler: went out with a smile, accepting his own death]] for the sake of his friends.* ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'':** Kurisu Makise -- a {{tsundere}} ClosetOtaku complete with SugarAndIcePersonality and plenty of adorkable moments in the series.** Okabe, especially with his LargeHam moments -- it's no wonder most of the female (and one [[spoiler: temporarily [[GenderBender gender bent]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady guy]]]]) cast fell for him. He's a real ChickMagnet.* ''VisualNovel/RoboticsNotes'':** GenkiGirl [[{{Otaku}} Robot Otaku]] Akiho, {{Hikikomori}} YaoiFanGirl Frau who practically speaks in text talk, and {{Tsundere}} Misaki aka [[LargeHam MISTER PLEIADES]]!** Akiho's case seems to be genetic as her sister [[IceQueen Misa]] had the same traits in the flashbacks before [[spoiler:[[MindRape Makishima Kou began messing with her...]]]]* Haruyuki from ''LightNovel/AccelWorld''. Cute? Check. Clumsy? Check. A huge video game nerd with zero self esteem, yet has a rather sizable harem ([[LikesOlderWomen most of whom are]] [[WiseBeyondTheirYears way older than him in many ways]])? Double check.* ''Anime/{{Free}}'': Rei is book smart and serious, but still [[TheComicallySerious does ridiculous things as if they were normal]], like trying on silly patterned swimsuits with gusto, calling Rin "Rin-chan-san" [[note]]since Nagisa calls him "Rin-chan"[[/note]], and [[spoiler: pretending to be a detective and making sound effects while spying on Rin]].%% * Akane from ''Anime/PsychoPass'' had shades of dorky cuteness. Before her BreakTheCutie TraumaCongaLine.* Akatsuki, from LogHorizon, roleplays being a ninja constantly, has trouble conversing with other people, but is very earnest, so when she speaks, what comes out is sometimes very awkward.%%%% The article should be put in ABC (editors' note says it was), but it really isn't... %%----
